Back to school for all ages: You’re never too old to learn

While back to school season places the focus on kids moving into new grades, new schools, and new classes, education is not just a young person’s game. Learning can be a life-long endeavor, and several programs in the region offer adult learners the opportunity to explore new subjects, revisit old interests, or enhance their professional credentials.

Princeton Adult School

Founded in 1939, the Princeton Adult School offers a wide range of online and in-person courses for ages 18 and up. All are welcome; there are no residency requirements to enroll. Most inperson classes are held at Princeton High School, 151 Moore Street, Princeton. Cost per course varies based on the number and duration of sessions.

“Our goal is to meet the learning interests and needs of the area’s diverse adult community in pursuing intellectual growth, workplace skills, job opportuni-

ties, and personal and civic well-being in a convenient and enjoyable education experience,” PAS states as its mission.

Classes on offer for the fall semester include practical topics in business,

technology, and personal finance, such as estate planning and learning to use Microsoft Office. Others cover gardening, home decor, and making your house more energy efficient. In the field

of health and wellness, programs range from the very active — dance and bicycling — to courses on astrology, emotional healing, and nutrition.

It’s not all health food, though. Chefs from the region all present courses on chocolate, Latin American cuisine, cupcake making, Indian food, cheese making, and more.

PAS hosts courses for English language learners as well as classes in American Sign Language and in Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Russian for various skill levels.

Classes also cover more traditional academic subjects, including art, writing, literature, history, music, astronomy, and more. PAS also offers a handful of limited lecture series on a variety of subject matters. Topics for this fall semester are “International Hot Spots: Crisis in Context,” “El Camino de Santiago,” “Blood, Guts and Betrayal — A

All for Dance

Celebrating 20 Years

All for Dance has seen a lot of numbers over its 20 years in Robbinsville.

When they opened their doors in September, 2004, they had two studios and three teachers.

Two decades later, there are four studios and 20 teachers.

More than 3,000 families — from right in Robbinsville as well as from towns much farther away areas — have entrusted owners Cynthia Coolidge and Holly Yablonowitz and their staff for dance instruction.

The smiles, those are countless, but a huge part of All for Dance.

“If I sum it up in just a few words, it's just gratitude,” Yablonowitz said. “And excitement that we got to share our love of dance within this amazing dance community for the last 20 years and excitement to continue for many years to come.”

All for Dance has been able to expand its location at The Shoppes at Foxmoor over the years in response to its growing demands. They offer instruction in nine different dance styles – ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, modern, musical theatre, pointe and tap. More than 650 students ages 2 to almost 80 attend the more than 100 classes offered Monday through Saturday. All for Dance also offers a competitive team for those most intensely driven. The

faculty that includes Coolidge and Yablonowitz has hundreds of years of combined teaching experience. Former and current students have taken on leadership roles for less experienced dancers.

Yablonowitz says that people choose dance for a variety of reasons. Some are drawn by the art of dance and the freedom of expression. Others enjoy the exercise. Some love the sense of community. Others just want a break from the stresses of life and school. All for Dance prides itself on being a welcoming dance home to students no matter what the motivation.

“I really feel like every person can get something different out of dance,”

she said. “And those things that they embrace at our studio, then they can take with them for the rest of their lives.”

Underlying lessons from dance such as commitment, perseverance and patience also last a lifetime. All for Dance looks beyond its instruction. Two years ago, All for Dance became a chapter sponsor of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts to recognize student dancers that achieve a high level of academic excellence on top of their passion and dedication to the art of dance. All for Dance also seeks out and supports worthy community service projects, something that goes hand in hand with positively impacting the lives of

those in its community.

“Our staff makes a difference in our students’ lives every day and dance brings joy in our studio that is hard to describe,” Yablonowitz said. “Spreading that joy with the community around us and making a difference in people’s lives outside of our walls is a big part of our studio mission. We have a very strong dance community that loves dance, supports each other and loves to support the communities around us. It is really special.”

All for Dance’s 21st season begins September 5. Classes run from September through May. All for Dance opens enrollment in March each year, and they take on new students until the end of October if space permits.

In June, Robbinsville Mayor Dave Fried and Robbinsville Township Council presented All for Dance with a proclamation to recognize their 20th year as an impactful and respected business in the community. The gesture was particularly meaningful for Coolidge and Yablonowitz, who have felt at home since the first day their studio opened Robbinsville.

“To be able to build a community like this who just all love to be together and dance has just been amazing.”

Back-to-school checklist

The start of the new school year is right around the corner. Parents can ease the big change and alleviate stress by using this back-to-school readiness checklist from the RWJBarnabas Health Children’s Health network and the RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group:

Fill out any forms your school has sent home, such as emergency contact and health information forms before school starts.

Be sure your child has a sturdy backpack with padded shoulder straps and avoid overloading it.

Schedule an appointment

Inform the school nurse and teachers about medical conditions your child may have, particularly food allergies, asthma, diabetes, and any other conditions that may need to be managed during the school day. Coordinate with the school nurse to administer medications your child might need.

Stay up to date with flu and recommended childhood vaccines. Children 12 and over may also be vaccinated for COVID-19; ask your primary care provider for more information.

To schedule an appointment with an RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group provider, please visit rwjbh.org/medicalgroup or call 1-888-724-7123

Pack a healthy, balanced lunch with a mix of protein, grains, fruit and vegetables, if possible.

Let teachers know about conditions that may affect your child’s ability to learn. For example, children with ADHD should be seated in the front of the classroom and children with vision problems should sit near the board.

Establish a bedtime routine at least one week before school starts.

Your insurance accepted RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group providers accept most major insurances. Medical insurance varies by provider, please call your insurance carrier to verify coverage.

Hamilton Dental Associates

The Importance of Orthodontic Care for Your Children

Growing up makes for a constantly evolving experience for children. Every year they change and grow into the person they are destined to become, and that extends to their oral health. From the first baby tooth to their adult teeth coming in later in their lives, managing your child’s dental health presents unique challenges for parents. With those challenges come a few myths involving childhood tooth development that can impact how you treat your child’s dental health.

Combating Childhood Oral Health Myths.

When you start looking for a pediatric dentist in Hamilton, you want to find one that knows how intensive taking care of your child’s teeth should be. Taking a proactive approach to their dental health can help them avoid more involved procedures down the road — one of the most common myths that lead to your child’s teeth suffering in the long run.

Common Myth #1: Childhood Teeth Will Straighten Out Over Time

One such myth that leads to more complex orthodontic care down the line is that your child’s teeth will straighten out over time. Unfortunately, that is not the case. If their teeth start coming in crooked or off-center, they won’t naturally straighten them-

selves with time.

The space for their teeth to come in doesn’t grow as they mature. If you leave these issues unattended, it could lead to more significant problems.

Common Myth #2: Orthodontic Treatments Are Purely Cosmetic

While most people associate orthodontic treatments with getting braces as a teenager, that procedure does much more than merely straighten teeth to help you look better. Getting your jaw and teeth back into proper alignment has a cascading effect on your oral health. It helps improve your biting, chewing, and even speaking ability.

Common Myth #3: There Is a Right Age for Orthodontic Care

Many parents believes there is a specific age at which it’s appropriate to bring their children in for orthodontic care. The perceived minimum age for a child to receive orthodontic care is around 12-13 or right when they reach high school. However, getting your child such care earlier can help avoid getting braces and fixing issues before they worsen.

In reality, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your children should get an orthodontic checkup no later than age seven. Once they hit that age, their mouth will have a nice balance between their baby and permanent teeth. This window of time allows for an accurate orthodontic evaluation to determine where preventative care is enough or if additional action is required.

Where Do Orthodontic Issues Come From?

Our studio offers a wide range of classes, from ballet and jazz to

In most cases, a child’s orthodontic problems stem from their genetics — these issues are inherited from their parents. Additionally, some problems can develop over time based on poor oral hygiene habits they learned from a young age.

Some of these acquired oral health issues include:

• Sucking Their Thumbs

• Mouth Breathing

• Abnormal Swallowing Patterns

• Poor Dental Hygiene

• Irregular Loss of Baby Teeth

• Poor Nutritional Habits

However, parents have reason to hope for viable remedies and solutions to most of these issues. You can remedy these acquired problems with the help of successful orthodontic care provided by an experienced pediatric dentist.

Finding a Child Orthodontic You Can Trust.

Trusting your child’s teeth and their beautiful smile to a pediatric dentistry practice is something that every parent must come to grips with. Figuring out which childhood orthodontic makes the most sense for your child and their future dental visits becomes critically important. For parents and their children in Hamilton, Hamilton Dental Associates provides them with the experienced pediatric dentists they need to prioritize their oral health as they mature.

of School at Stuart. “It has been part of Stuart’s mission and vision for 60 years to pay close attention to the interconnectedness of a child’s mind, body, and heart. This self-awareness fuels their development as curious, influential, and empathic leaders and sustains them for life-long ambitious pursuit.”

Stuart’s investment in the Cor Cordis Center is timely and necessary. In a world where teenage girls face unprecedented challenges, with nearly 60 percent reporting persistent sadness or hopelessness, Stuart’s commitment to student wellness is a crucial response. The Center will house essential services like learning

support, counseling, and the health office, all within the heart of the school.

“We have made a real investment in the spirituality and well-being of our students; the Cor Cordis Center will not only help students delve deeper in their learning, but it will give them the foundational elements they need to thrive,” remarks Woodney Wachter, co-chair of the Board of Trustees. Fellow co-chair Paul Teti adds, “The Cor Cordis Center for Exceptional Leadership is putting health and wellness, and academic excellence in the context of community. It’s at the core of our school, and it’s exciting to imagine students of all ages learning from each other and from our exceptional faculty and staff.”

As Stuart students step into the new school year, they will do so with a powerful resource at their fingertips — a resource designed to help them lead with resilience, adaptability, and purpose.
